Chapter 663: Fear and Helplessness
"Girl, the villain was also threatened by someone last time, you have a bodhisattva face, and you will also go to the bodhisattva like generosity and kindness, you will spare the villain once."
As he spoke, the man hurriedly sent the child in his arms to her, squeezing out two tears, "Look, my son is really sick, and he needs a doctor." Girl, save the child, he is innocent. ”
Ling Zhao went up and touched the child's forehead, turned around and said, "Girl, his forehead is very hot." ”
Ye Jinyu thought for a while, and instructed the guard: "You take him to the Shen Pavilion, and we will take the child to Mr. Jiang." ”
As soon as the man heard that he was going to be separated from the child, he immediately wanted to play a scoundrel again, Ling Zhao's eyes were quick, and he handed over the person to the guards with a knife.
The child had a high fever and wanted to stay in the pharmacy for treatment, Ye Jinyu asked Ling Zhao to stay and guard, and rushed to Shen Pavilion by himself.
The guard at the door did not stop her, and the courtyard was quiet, and the door of the side hall was open, and she turned and walked over.
Hou Ye sat on the upper seat of the side hall, kneeling at the bottom of the troublesome man, and there were two guards standing next to him, and the spear in his hand pressed against the man's shoulder so that he did not dare to move.
Ye Jinyu walked over and saluted Hou Ye.
Li Sui looked at her twice, saw that she was out of breath, poured a cup of tea and put it on the next place, knocked on the table, "Come and sit." ”
Ye Jinyu felt that that position did not match her identity, and turned her eyes to look away, but before she could find a suitable place, Hou Ye asked in a deep voice: "Do you want Ben Hou to invite you over, or sit down by yourself?" ”
Ye Jinyu was immediately stunned, and silently thought in his heart: You can't offend Hou Ye, you can't offend Hou Ye, you can't offend Hou Ye!
Gritting his teeth, he walked over and sat down, picked up the tea and drank it.
"How's that kid?" Li Sui asked.
Ye Jinyu replied officially: "The high fever caused by the wind and cold, Ling Zhao stayed in the pharmacy to guard. ”
Li Sui felt that she had been avoiding her gaze, and her speech was much more respectful and restrained than before, and she was suddenly unhappy, but she still had something to do right now, and his emotions were fleeting.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Sui looked at the guard, and the guard recounted the whole thing with a weak leg.
Li Sui was silent for a moment and asked, "How was that kid doing yesterday?" ”
The guard replied, "Running and jumping in the yard as usual. ”
The man hurriedly explained: "It is also common for children to be weak, and sometimes they get sick in the blink of an eye after sleeping or having a meal. ”
"Is it because the people in the Hou Mansion are not serving the child well, so that the child is frozen?" Li Sui smiled coldly.
The man shook his shoulders, lowered his head and said, "No, no, no, it's the villain who didn't take care of the child, and we are doing well in the Hou Mansion." ”
"Why didn't you take care of it?" Li Sui asked again.
"It's the villain's negligence." The man said.
Li Sui's eyes showed a hint of danger, "Ben Hou remembers, I sent someone to inform you to leave the house today yesterday, so coincidentally, a child is sick today?" ”
Ye Jinyu frowned, and suddenly thought that the last time they touched the porcelain, the child's foot was really broken, and he immediately couldn't help asking: "What did you do to the child in order to stay in the Hou Mansion?" ”
The man waved his hand and kowtowed again and again, defending himself: "The girl misunderstood, that's the villain's son, the villain is ......"
"Still not telling the truth?" Li Sui slapped his palm on the table, and suddenly the man collapsed to the ground, feeling the cold spear against his neck, he trembled and said: "The villain, the villain can't help it, if we are driven out of the Hou Mansion, we will starve to death." Our father and son have long been homeless and have been left ...... here."
"Getting to the point." Ye Jinyu interrupted him impatiently.
The man's body trembled even more, and he immediately trembled and said, "The child is weak, and he will be sick after blowing the cold wind all night. ”
Spring is cold, and when there is sun during the day, the temperature is quite warm. But after nightfall, the night wind is biting, and even adults can't stand the night wind like this.
"Beast!" Ye Jinyu gritted his teeth and glared at the man on the ground, and asked, "Is he really your son?" ”
The man raised his head in a panic, his eyes had not yet touched them, and he immediately retracted again, "Of course it's my son, he's sick, and I'm the most distressed." ”
Ye Jinyu didn't want to look at his face anymore, so he turned his head to Li Sui and said, "Master Hou, let's check this person carefully, maybe it's a human trafficker." ”
Li Sui nodded, glanced at the two guards, and waved his hand, and the guards dragged the man back.
"Master Hou, I don't worry about that kid, I want to go see him again." Ye Jinyu got up and said.
"Don't worry, if there is a situation, Ling Zhao will come to report." Li Sui looked at her and asked, "Don't you want to know why Ben Hou found this father and son?" ”
Ye Jinyu said respectfully: "Jin Yu shouldn't be in charge, Jin Yu will never ask more." ”
Li Sui knocked on the table again, "Sit down, I'll tell you." ”
Ye Jinyu hesitated, but sat down.
"This matter has to start with Miss Yun Qianzhong......"
Ye Jinyu looked over in surprise, listened to his eloquent words, and slowly sorted out the causes and consequences. Peerless Tang Gate fo
Five years ago, the king of Yunjun was also a celebrity in front of the emperor, quite prestigious in the capital, his daughter Yun Qianzhong is talented and beautiful, very much loved by the queen mother, and then because the queen mother's birthday gift was ingenious for a while, at the age of thirteen was named the county lord, and the scenery is unique among the nobles in the capital.
It's a pity that he was burdened by the family and was confiscated into slavery, so he had no choice but to live in the church. At that time, all men aged 12 and above were executed, and all the female dependents were not enslaved.
At that time, Yun Qianzhong also had a younger brother who had just turned two years old, and because he was still young, his mother spent a lot of money to keep people by his side. It's just that since then, Yun Qianzhong has lost contact with them.
Five years have passed, and she has been searching without stopping, but the search has been fruitless.
Li Yi's foundation in Yingcheng was unstable when he first came to Yingcheng, and he looked divided on the surface, but in fact, no matter what he did, he was constrained everywhere and struggled. So he thought of Yun Qianzhong, she is now the head of the teaching workshop, and the people she receives are all well-known figures in Yingcheng.
Li Yi wanted to use her connections to understand the affairs and rules of Yingcheng, in order to say that he moved the clouds, he used a lot of methods, and later learned that she had a heart disease, and finally moved her with this promise.
"A few days ago, you invited Miss Chie into the house, did you want her to see that child for herself?" Ye Jinyu was shocked, she had always thought that Hou Ye was interested in Yun Qianzhong, but now he told her that he was only interested in the connections in her hands.
So she misunderstood him all along, and the rumors outside were so ugly, he didn't even defend himself. Maybe the rumors in the capital before were not all true.
"Yes, but I still found the wrong person, that child is not the widow of the Yun family." Li Yi looked at her shocked appearance, thinking that the misunderstanding was finally solved, would Jin Yu have a different opinion of him?
"I just heard that man say that you seem to have promised him something? It's not going to be a mess again. After Ye Jinyu finished speaking, he felt that he had asked nonsense, isn't this obvious.
Li Yi laughed and said softly: "It's good that Jin Yu didn't misunderstand, although Ben Hou didn't promise anything, Ben also wanted them to give them some reward when they left." But now that Ben Hou has changed his mind, if he is really a human trafficker, Ben Hou will never spare him. ”
"The troublesome Hou Ye also checked the child's life history by the way, if he was really abducted and trafficked, the relatives at home must be crazy." Ye Jinyu nodded and requested.
"Okay, it's up to you." Li Yi got up, bowed his head and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat." ”
Ye Jinyu was stunned, was that sentence just now her hallucination again? Yun Yu said the same thing, even in the same tone. Why does Hou Ye always give her this illusion, is it because she has too few men here?
"Jin Yu?" Li Yi called her.
Ye Jinyu hurriedly shook his head, got rid of these ridiculous ideas, got up and walked out.
After lunch, Ye Jinyu was still thinking about the child, so he went to the pharmacy again.
Ling Zhao said: "I just ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, drank medicine, and already fell asleep. ”
Ye Jinyu approached, saw that the child was still sick, his face was like ashes, and asked sadly: "Does he have any other injuries on his body?" ”
Ling Zhao was surprised: "You know this, just now Mr. Jiang checked his whole body again, t......sk" She couldn't bear to continue, so she carefully rolled up the boy's sleeve, revealing a colorful arm.
Ye Jinyu gasped, and on the boy's skinny arms, new and old injuries were superimposed, and there was hardly a piece of intact skin.
Ling Zhao carefully put the child's arm back into the futon, and said with pity and indignation: "There is almost this kind of scene all over the body, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a child could live so strong with injuries all over his body." ”
"A possible cure?" Ye Jinyu felt that his voice was stuck in his throat, and he barely made a few syllables. She has seen many incidents of child abuse online, but this is the first time she has seen it with her own eyes, and the shock and excitement in her heart are difficult to express in words.
"Mr. Jiang said try his best, and he will recover at most eighty percent." Ling Zhao said.
Ye Jinyu nodded, and it took a long time before he remembered and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Ling Zhao said, "I've eaten it." ”
Ye Jinyu's expression slowly became in a trance again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
They stayed in the pharmacy for two hours, and it was almost in the evening when the boy woke up, and when he saw them, his pupils shrank sharply, and his face showed a distressing fear and helplessness.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Ling Zhao hurriedly comforted him, and asked again, "Are you thirsty, do you want to drink water?" ”
The boy did not dare to speak, and stared at them defensively with his eyes, which were too large because of his thinness.
It should be difficult for such a child who has been abused for a long time to open his heart to trust others all at once. Ye Jinyu patted Ling Zhao's shoulder and motioned for her to go out first.
Ling Zhao glanced at them uneasily, then walked out and gently closed the door.
There were only two of them left in the warm pavilion, and the boy was even more nervous, staring straight at Ye Jinyu, for fear that she would suddenly make some moves.
Ye Jinyu took a few steps back and sat down on the stool, separated from him by a table and a stretch of road, which seemed to make the boy breathe a sigh of relief.
"Kid, do you know what this place is?" Ye Jinyu observed his reaction, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued to ask himself: "This is the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an, and there is a very powerful Hou Ye living here, even those big officials in the Yamen have to listen to the Hou Ye." Only if you answer your sister's question obediently, your sister will let Master Hou protect you, okay? ”
The boy was unmoved, not sure if he didn't understand, or if he was numb enough to trust anyone anymore.
Ye Jinyu was a little anxious, she had no experience in dealing with such a child, and after thinking about it, she felt that maybe the chips she had just lured were not enough, so she added, "Master Hou can not only protect you, but also ensure that your father will never dare to do anything to you again, okay?" ”
The boy's eyes flashed, and Ye Jinyu caught a fleeting hope in it.
She struck while the iron was hot and asked, "My name is Ye Rutong, you can call me Sister Yiyi, what is your name?" ”
"Step, step." The boy's voice was weak, and Ye Jinyu slowed down for a while before he understood.
"What's your father's name? Where is your mother? Ye Jinyu then asked.
